It's one option that's being seriously pursued at this time.
However, there's also: http://www.ynysarwedcampsite.co.uk/FarmHome.htm

What's everyone's thoughts on the weekend of Sat/Sun 31 March/1 April? ::)
Work can be done on the cars, such as discs/pads, oil/filter changes etc; though major unit changes cannot.
A liability waiver must be signed, and caravans/trailer-tents will be allowed, though tents could prove to be a challenge.
I've also agreed that a modest fee will be payable, which is only fair as we'll be using electricity etc.
As Mrs Seth isn't staying overnight, I'm happy to accommodate two members in our 'van - bring your own sleeping bags!
Remember now, the above dates are purely provisional at this point ;)
-
Im flexible on dates but they suit me fine :y
-
Yep, can do that :y
-
Dates should be ok for me as far as it goes
-
i will attend but an overnight stay wont be needed as i dont live that far away. :y
-
I might well be up for a Wales meet, date dependant. Also happy to bring the Tech 2 along, of course. Would probably be looking to stay ovenight as it's a bit of a trek.
-

depends on whether you want a beer or 4 :D

It's roughly two miles north of J36 of the M4 mister ;)
Around 15 minutes drive west of Cardiff - though that's probably 10 mins in reality to you J! ;D ;D ;D

Though your snoring mustn't disturb anyone - unlike the antics at Welland Steam Rally last year! ;D
Was sure that it originated from the confines of your tent .......... :-[

Hmmm, may be too far, as no easy route, so a fair journey time.

Take this course of action, and you could endure the wrath of a certain Valleys wench at Newent 2012 dear boy.
'Tis not recommended mate - believe me 'been there, tried done that' etc ........... :o
'Aberystwyth' is all I'm saying ................. :-X
-
I may have to drop the back seats down in the car and use an air bed if I stay overnight. should be comfy enough though

I'm weak at the knees already ;D. And then the thought of Mrs Seth beating me whilst swearing with a Valley's accent. Ooooo, heaven ;D
Last March, it took me about 5.5hrs to get to Tenby, going Monmoth, then across the Top of Valleys. So guessing a good 4 to Bridgend. That may be a bit much.
-
best to go down m4 than heads of valley shorter and faster

Tread carefully Jamie lad .........
'Tis not unknown for Dear Pamela to have a sneaky peek at OOF proceedings my boy! ::)
OOF-approved route for you is:
Your gaffe to Oxford, A34 to M4 J13, thence let the motor fly west along the M4 to J36.
3 hours tops - trust me! :y
.......... and believe me, we've got to keep this nice admin Hampshire chappie away from the BBQ:

Cremated bangers, extremely 'crispy' bacon and chronic indigestion at Welland Steam Rally last year spring to mind! :D
As for the hash-browns .......... surely they're shouldn't have been 'that' well-done? :-\
Simon (dad1uk) will no doubt confirm in the fullness of time .......... :-[

Bah! I'll resign from cooking duties just stick to what I know then. Hoovering up any surplus fermented beverages. >:(

Couldn't fathom out why my Newcastle Brown Ale stash disappeared at such an alarming rate at Welland ........... until now, that is! :o
Security measures have forthwith been suitably strengthened to protect the said 'stash'.
Wanna chance yer arm? ........... against these measures this spirited little chap:

Judging by the inebriated state mess you got into ........... you wouldn't have, my boy :-[
Your enthusiastic indulgence of Shep's home-brewed "Rocket Fuel" has proven to be your downfall here! :o
'Twas lucky that Simon and I were on-hand to keep control of the proceedings ............... ;D

Can you make it on Saturday 31 March Raif? :-\
-
no takes time to load van you know what women are like got to take this and that

just giving this a nudge to see what was happening. ;)

nudge nudge as well from me ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
The provisionally-set date for the weekend of Sat/Sun (31 March/1 April) has now unfortunately been cancelled.
This is due to essential civil engineering works presently being carried-out within the immediate area that we'd be occupying. With H&S in mind, this situation is quite understandable, though a tad disappointing.
However, my farming friends, (absolute 'real friends' I can assure you!), whilst sincerely apologetic, remain quite happy to accommodate us later on in the early Summer, say around the May/early June period.
Whence the said works are completed, I'm quite happy to set a firm date for our little bash.
What say ya all?
Seth ;)
-
sounds good to me :y
-
be better for me :y :y :y :y
-
knock knock any dates yet ;D ;D

With Seth out of action for a bit I think it might be a while
